Stihl KM 90 leaking fuel into air filter

[4slservices]

I have 3 Stihl KM 90s. They are the same engine as the FS 90 trimmer. This problem has happened to the 2 older ones. Gas leaks into the air filter when not in use, no matter which way trimmer is positioned. I ordered a new carb and its still happening. Could it be the gas tank vent? Is there a way to clean them or do I just have to buy a new one. Anyone have this happen to them. Its starts and runs just fine without a gas soaked air filter on it.

If you're sure it's not the carb, then yes it's the vent. You might see it leak. Turn it upside down and watch the little port in the a/f base.
